Remco Engels: “I am honoured to play with this fantastic band. It’s great to contribute to the ‘Mangrove sound’. Their latest cd is very impressive and it’s fantastic to perform this one now live with the band. The best thing of it all is that the band is very adventurous, continuously looking for new progressive rock ground. It will be a wonderful adventure!”

Roland van der Horst: “I am very impressed by Remco’s way of playing the drums with many dynamics and subtility if necessary. His qualities can be heard already now hearing him performing the Mangrove songs live. Besides a great drummer Remco is also a songwriter and I am very confident that he will contribute to Mangrove with fresh and new ideas. We are looking forward in hitting the stages with Remco and of course working on the next Mangrove studio album!”
